Well I came down here from manhattan 
to see the lights on the mall 
but when I got here early this morning 
well I couldn't see any at all 
so I walked a little further 
and much to my surprise 
there was a hot cool woman 
in a chevy staring into my eyes 

I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 
Alright 

She said now don't walk any further 
Just jump into my car 
And we can head on down the highway 
But you'd better not go too far 
'Cos my daddy he's big business 
So we've gotta be back by tonight 
But we can still have some fun now 
If we head on downtown to see the lights 

I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 

I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 

Well, we ended up in this cafe 
'Bout twenty-five minutes to one 
See, she took me to this nightclub 
And the music went on and on 
Well we were set down to get coffee 
When in walked her old man 
No matter how we tried to explain it well 
We couldn't make him understand 

I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights 
I've just got to see the lights
